Features
The command line interface has these features:
Command history - Use the up and down arrow keys.
Keyword abbreviations - Any keyword can be recognized by typing
an unambiguous prefix, for example, type “sh” and the software
responds with “show.”
Tab key - Pressing the Tab key fills in the rest of a keyword
automatically. For example, typing “sh” and then pressing the Tab
key enters “show” on the command line.

Conventions
This manual uses the following command format conventions:
screen text font - This font illustrates the format of a command
and command examples.

Command
Examples
Most of the command examples in this guide start at the User Exec mode
and include the navigational commands. Here is an example that creates a
new VLAN called Engineering with the VID 5:
awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# vlan database
awplus(config-vlan)# vlan 5 name Engineering
You do not have to return to the User Exec mode when you finish a
management task. But it is a good idea to return to the Privileged Exec
mode to confirm your changes with the appropriate SHOW command,
before performing a new task.
